DEVICE OPERATIONS
CLOCK (CLK) The clock input is used as the reference for all SDRAM operations. All operations are synchronized to the positive going edge of the clock. The clock transitions must be monotonic between VIL and VIH. During operation with CKE high all inputs are assumed to be in valid state (low or high) for the duration of setup and hold time around positive edge of the clock for proper functionality and Icc specifications. CLOCK ENABLE(CKE) The clock enable (CKE) gates the clock onto SDRAM. If CKE goes low synchronously with clock (set-up and hold time same as other inputs), the internal clock suspended from the next clock cycle and the state of output and burst address is frozen as long as the CKE remains low. All other inputs are ignored from the next clock cycle after CKE goes low. When all banks are in the idle state and CKE goes low synchronously with clock, the SDRAM enters the power down mode from the next clock cycle. The SDRAM remains in the power down mode ignoring the other inputs as long as CKE remains low. The power down exit is synchronous as the internal clock is suspended. When CKE goes high at least “1CLK + tSS” before the high going edge of the clock, then the SDRAM becomes active from the same clock edge accepting all the input commands. BANK ADDRESSES (BA0,BA1) This SDRAM is organized as four independent banks of 1,048,576 words x 16 bits memory arrays. The BA0 and BA1 inputs are latched at the time of assertion of RAS and CAS to select the bank to be used for the operation. The banks addressed BA0 and BA1 are latched at bank active, read, write, mode register set and precharge operations. ADDRESS INPUTS (A0~A11) The 20 address bits are required to decode the 1,048,576 word locations are multiplexed into 12 address input pins (A0~A11). The 12 row addresses are latched along with RAS and BA0~BA1 during bank active command. The 8 bit column addresses are latched along with CAS , WE and BA0,BA1 during read or with command. NOP and DEVICE DESELECT When RAS , CAS and WE are high, The SDRAM performs no operation (NOP). NOP does not initiate any new operation, but is needed to complete operations which require more than single clock cycle like bank activate, burst read, auto refresh, etc. The device deselect is also a NOP and is entered by asserting CS high. CS high disables the command decoder so that RAS , CAS , WE and all the address inputs are ignored. POWER-UP

Sequence of 4 & 5 is regardless of the order. The device is now ready for normal operation. MODE REGISTER SET (MRS) The mode register stores the data for controlling the various operating modes of SDRAM. It programs the CAS latency, burst type, burst length, test mode and various vendor specific options to make SDRAM useful for variety of different applications. The default value of the mode register is not defined, therefore the mode register must be written after power up to operate the SDRAM. The mode register is written by asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS and WE (The SDRAM should be in active mode with CKE already high prior to writing the mode register). The state of address pins A0~A11 and BA0~BA1 in the same cycle as CS , RAS , CAS and WE going low is the data written in the mode register. Two clock cycles is required to complete the write in the mode register. The mode register contents can be changed using the same command and clock cycle requirements during operation as long as all banks are in the idle state. The mode register is divided into various fields into depending on functionality. The burst length field uses A0~A2, burst type uses A3, CAS latency (read latency from column address) use A4~A6, vendor specific options or test mode use A7~A8, A10/AP~A11 and BA0~BA1. The write burst length is programmed using A9. A7~A8, A10/AP~A11 and BA0, BA1 must be set to low for normal SDRAM operation. Refer to the table for specific codes for various burst length, burst type and CAS latencies.

DEVICE OPERATIONS (Continued)
BANK ACTIVATE The bank activate command is used to select a random row in an idle bank. By asserting low on RAS and CS with desired row and bank address, a row access is initiated. The read or write operation can occur after a time delay of tRCD(min) from the time of bank activation. tRCD is the internal timing parameter of SDRAM, therefore it is dependent on operating clock frequency. The minimum number of clock cycles required between bank activate and read or write command should be calculated by dividing tRCD(min) with cycle time of the clock and then rounding of the result to the next higher integer. The SDRAM has four internal banks in the same chip and shares part of the internal circuitry to reduce chip area, therefore it restricts the activation of four banks simultaneously. Also the noise generated during sensing of each bank of SDRAM is high requiring some time for power supplies to recover before another bank can be sensed reliably. tRRD(min) specifies the minimum time required between activating different bank. The number of clock cycles required between different bank activation must be calculated similar to tRCD specification. The minimum time required for the bank to be active to initiate sensing and restoring the complete row of dynamic cells is determined by tRAS(min). Every SDRAM bank activate command must satisfy tRAS(min) specification before a precharge command to that active bank can be asserted. The maximum time any bank can be in the active state is determined by tRAS(max) and tRAS(max) can be calculated similar to tRCD specification. BURST READ The burst read command is used to access burst of data on consecutive clock cycles from an active row in an active bank. The burst read command is issued by asserting low on CS and RAS with WE being high on the positive edge of the clock. The bank must be active for at least tRCD(min) before the burst read command is issued. The first output appears in CAS latency number of clock cycles after the issue of burst read command. The burst length, burst sequence and latency from the burst read command is determined by the mode register which is already programmed. The burst read can be initiated on any column address of the active row. The address wraps around if the initial address does not start from a boundary such that number of outputs from each I/O are equal to the burst length programmed in the mode register. The output goes into high-impedance at the end of burst, unless a new burst read was initiated to keep the data output gapless. The burst read can be terminated by issuing another burst read or burst write in the same bank or the other active bank or a precharge command to the same bank. The burst stop command is valid at every page burst length. BURST WRITE The burst write command is similar to burst read command and is used to write data into the SDRAM on consecutive clock cycles in adjacent addresses depending on burst length and burst sequence. By asserting low on CS , CAS PRECHARGE
M12L64164A
and WE with valid column address, a write burst is initiated. The data inputs are provided for the initial address in the same clock cycle as the burst write command. The input buffer is deselected at the end of the burst length, even though the internal writing can be completed yet. The writing can be complete by issuing a burst read and DQM for blocking data inputs or burst write in the same or another active bank. The burst stop command is valid at every burst length. The write burst can also be terminated by using DQM for blocking data and procreating the bank tRDL after the last data input to be written into the active row. See DQM OPERATION also. DQM OPERATION The DQM is used mask input and output operations. It works similar to OE during operation and inhibits writing during write operation. The read latency is two cycles from DQM and zero cycle for write, which means DQM masking occurs two cycles later in read cycle and occurs in the same cycle during write cycle. DQM operation is synchronous with the clock. The DQM signal is important during burst interrupts of write with read or precharge in the SDRAM. Due to asynchronous nature of the internal write, the DQM operation is critical to avoid unwanted or incomplete writes when the complete burst write is required. Please refer to DQM timing diagram also.
The precharge is performed on an active bank by asserting low on clock cycles required between bank activate and clock cycles required between bank activate and CS , RAS , WE and A10/AP with valid BA0~BA1 of the bank to be procharged. The precharge command can be asserted anytime after tRAS(min) is satisfy from the bank active command in the desired bank. tRP is defined as the minimum number of clock cycles required to complete row precharge is calculated by dividing tRP with clock cycle time and rounding up to the next higher integer. Care should be taken to make sure that burst write is completed or DQM is used to inhibit writing before precharge command is asserted. The maximum time any bank can be active is specified by tRAS(max). Therefore, each bank activate command. At the end of precharge, the bank enters the idle state and is ready to be activated again. Entry to power-down, Auto refresh, Self refresh and Mode register set etc. is possible only when all banks are in idle state.

DEVICE OPERATIONS (Continued)
AUTO PRECHARGE The precharge operation can also be performed by using auto precharge. The SDRAM internally generates the timing to satisfy tRAS(min) and “tRP” for the programmed burst length and CAS latency. The auto precharge command is issued at the same time as burst write by asserting high on A10/AP, the bank is precharge command is asserted. Once auto precharge command is given, no new commands are possible to that particular bank until the bank achieves idle state. All BANKS PRECHARGE All banks can be precharged at the same time by using Precharge all command. Asserting low on CS , RAS , and
WE with high on A10/AP after all banks have satisfied tRAS(min) requirement, performs precharge on all banks. At the end of tRP after performing precharge all, all banks are in idle state.
M12L64164A
SELF REFRESH The self refresh is another refresh mode available in the SDRAM. The self refresh is the preferred refresh mode for data retention and low power operation of SDRAM. In self refresh mode, the SDRAM disables the internal clock and all the input buffers except CKE. The refresh addressing and timing is internally generated to reduce power consumption. The self refresh mode is entered from all banks idle state by asserting low on CS , RAS , CAS and CKE with high on WE . Once the self refresh mode is entered, only CKE state being low matters, all the other inputs including clock are ignored to remain in the refresh. The self refresh is exited by restarting the external clock and then asserting high on CKE. This must be followed by NOP’s for a minimum time of tRFC before the SDRAM reaches idle state to begin normal operation. 4K cycles of burst auto refresh is required immediately before self refresh entry and immediately after self refresh exit.
AUTO REFRESH The storage cells of SDRAM need to be refreshed every 64ms to maintain data. An auto refresh cycle accomplishes refresh of a single row of storage cells. The internal counter increments automatically on every auto refresh cycle to refresh all the rows. An auto refresh command is issued by asserting low on CS , RAS and CAS with high on CKE and WE . The auto refresh command can only be asserted with all banks being in idle state and the device is not in power down mode (CKE is high in the previous cycle). The time required to complete the auto refresh operation is specified by tRFC(min). The minimum number of clock cycles required can be calculated by driving tRFC with clock cycle time and them rounding up to the next higher integer. The auto refresh command must be followed by NOP’s until the auto refresh operation is completed. The auto refresh is the preferred refresh mode when the SDRAM is being used for normal data transactions. The auto refresh cycle can be performed once in 15.6us.

COMMANDS Mode register set command
M12L64164A
( CS , RAS , CAS , WE
= Low)
The M12L64164A has a mode register that defines how the device operates. In this command, A0 through A11, BA0 and BA1 are the data input pins. After power on, the mode register set command must be executed to initialize the device. The mode register can be set only when all banks are in idle state. During 2CLK following this command, the M12L64164A cannot accept any other commands.
Activate command
( CS , RAS = Low, CAS , WE = High) The M12L64164A has four banks, each with 4,096 rows. This command activates the bank selected by BA1 and BA0 (BS) and a row address selected by A0 through A11. This command corresponds to a conventional DRAM’s RAS falling.
Precharge command
( CS , RAS , WE = Low, CAS = High ) This command begins precharge operation of the bank selected by BA1 and BA0 (BS). When A10 is High, all banks are precharged, regardless of BA1 and BA0. When A10 is Low, only the bank selected by BA1 and BA0 is precharged. After this command, the M12L64164A can’t accept the activate command to the precharging bank during tRP (precharge to activate command period). This command corresponds to a conventional DRAM’s RAS rising.

Write command
( CS , CAS , WE = Low, RAS = High) If the mode register is in the burst write mode, this command sets the burst start address given by the column address to begin the burst write operation. The first write data in burst can be input with this command with subsequent data on following clocks.
M12L64164A
Read command
( CS , CAS = Low, RAS , WE = High) Read data is available after CAS latency requirements have been met. This command sets the burst start address given by the column address.
CBR (auto) refresh command
( CS , RAS , CAS = Low, WE , CKE = High) This command is a request to begin the CBR refresh operation. The refresh address is generated internally. Before executing CBR refresh, all banks must be precharged. After this cycle, all banks will be in the idle (precharged) state and ready for a row activate command. During tRFC period (from refresh command to refresh or activate command), the M12L64164A cannot accept any other command.

Publication Date: May 2009 Revision: 3.4 14/45
ESMT
Self refresh entry command
( CS , RAS , CAS , CKE = Low , WE = High) After the command execution, self refresh operation continues while CKE remains low. When CKE goes to high, the M12L64164A exits the self refresh mode. During self refresh mode, refresh interval and refresh operation are performed internally, so there is no need for external control. Before executing self refresh, all banks must be precharged.
M12L64164A
Burst stop command
( CS , WE = Low, RAS , CAS = High) This command terminates the current burst operation. Burst stop is valid at every burst length.
No operation
( CS = Low , RAS , CAS , WE = High) This command is not a execution command. No operations begin or terminate by this command.

Last data input, tRDL before row precharge , will be written. 3. DQM should mask invalid input data on precharge command cycle when asserting precharge before end of burst. Input data after Row precharge cycle will be masked internally.

1. Data-in at the cycle of interrupted by precharge can not be written into the corresponding memory cell. It is defined by AC parameter of tRDL. DQM at write interrupted by precharge command is needed to prevent invalid write. DQM should mask invalid input data on precharge command cycle when asserting precharge before end of burst. Input data after Row precharge cycle will be masked internally. 2. Burst stop is valid at every burst length.

The device remains in self refresh mode as long as CKE stays “Low”. cf.) Once the device enters self refresh mode, minimum tRAS is required before exit from self refresh.
TO EXIT SELF REFRESH MODE
4. System clock restart and be stable before returning CKE high. 5. CS starts from high. 6. Minimum tRFC is required after CKE going high to complete self refresh exit. 7. 4K cycles of burst auto refresh is required immediately before self refresh entry and immediately after self refresh exit.
